Chapter 69 The Broken Bowl

Prince Spoelstra was handling his usual tedious official business in his study when a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Who is it?" The pen in Spohr's hand hovered in the air, showing no desire to look up.

"Siboz?" the person outside the door called softly.

"Your Majesty! Please come in!" Spitz looked up in surprise, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

"What brings you here?" he asked as he stepped forward.

Perhaps because they often met at night, Qiao Xiao did not pay special attention to Shi Bozi's appearance.

At that moment, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You're so beautiful, Spitz."

Schubert's eyes were like deep green gems, shimmering with a profound light; his eyelashes were like the bright feathers of a raven, soft and smooth; his lips were like roses moistened by the morning dew, delicate and luscious.

He truly deserves the title of "Snow White Prince".

Upon hearing Qiao Xiao's praise, Shi Boz smiled shyly and then silently lowered his head.

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty,” he replied softly.

Whenever Qiao Xiao praises him, Shi Bozi always acts like a shy and reserved child, a cute sight that makes people smile.

However, Qiao Xiao also noticed his way of addressing her. In the past, he would call her "Mother Queen" when they met, but now he called her "Queen Queen". What was the reason for this?

Qiao Xiao took the soup that Daisy had personally prepared from Daisy's hand. The soup emitted an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water. She gently stirred it with her spoon, feeling its warm touch.

Qiao Xiao smiled and said to Daisy, "Daisy, you can go now. Close the door. I'll talk to you if I need anything." Daisy nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she turned and left the room, gently closing the door behind her.

Qiao Xiao turned her gaze to Shi Bozi and said gently, "Come and try the soup I made myself."

With a look of emotion and surprise in his eyes, Sporz solemnly picked up the bowl of soup in his hand and said with concern, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please be careful with your hands."

He looked very nervous; Qiao Xiao hadn't expected him to suddenly reach out and take the bowl from her hand.

In an instant, there was a loud thud, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Schubert's pupils contracted sharply; he simply couldn't believe how foolish and clumsy he had been.

He immediately knelt down, his voice trembling slightly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Fali, are you hurt?"

Qiao Xiao stared at him in astonishment, her face filled with shock and confusion. She raised her voice and called out anxiously, "What are you doing, Spitz? Get up!"

However, Spohr stubbornly remained kneeling there, seemingly unaware that his knees were being pierced by shards of porcelain, and blood was flowing continuously.

"I'm really fine, don't be like this, get up!" Qiao Xiao tried to pull Shi Bozi up, but found him unusually resolute.

Spartz lowered her head and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... Please punish me..."

Qiao Xiao sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean to punish you, please get up first."

Spoelstra remained kneeling, unmoving. "No... I broke the soup bowl... I..."

Qiao Xiao looked at his bleeding knees and felt extremely distressed. "Don't kneel anymore. There are broken pieces on the ground. You'll get hurt!"

She quickly crouched down and picked up the largest piece of shard. "Look at you, your knee is bleeding." Qiao Xiao gently bandaged his wound.

A tear welled up in Spartz's eyes. "I..."

"Alright, stop talking," Qiao Xiao interrupted him. "Don't do this again, understand?"

Schertz nodded slightly, but his eyes revealed a strong ambition as he stared at her without any attempt to hide it, like a confident hunter.

Qiao Xiao stared at him in disbelief, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. What had happened to Spalding that made him so insecure? She couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Queen, Prince, I heard strange noises inside. Are you both alright?"

Schuberts acted swiftly, replying first, "We are all fine and discussing important matters. Do not enter." He gave the order.

Daisy's voice sounded somewhat worried as she continued to ask, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qiao Xiao replied calmly, "I'm fine, Daisy, don't worry."

Schertz's thick eyelashes drooped slightly as he murmured to himself, "I have been so foolish to have wasted all your good intentions."

Qiao Xiao: "I can make the soup again, but if your health is harmed, that would be a real pity."

Spitz: "You are such a wonderful person. No matter what I do wrong, you are always forgiving. I have never met anyone as patient as you."

Qiao Xiao chuckled: "Sipoz, don't say that. Your very existence is enough for me to do this. You deserve all the kindness in the world."

She looked up at him, her face radiating vitality and extraordinary charm, seemingly surpassing the splendor of all the flowers in the Kingdom of Sotoa, and her beauty eclipsing every other beauty in Sotoa.

Her beauty and the purity of her soul are breathtaking and impeccable.

Schertz's eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, as if she had received the most precious gift in the world, and an indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction welled up in her heart.

He said affectionately, "Thank you for coming, Your Majesty."

Qiao Xiao carefully treated his wounds, then suggested, "Then, may you call me Empress Dowager? If you are willing to accept my identity."

Upon hearing this, Sporz's face suddenly darkened, becoming extremely ugly. His eyes became vacant. Sporz struggled to control his emotions and asked in a delicate voice, almost through gritted teeth, "What...do you mean by this?"

Qiao Xiao was confused: "What do you mean? Do you still hate me and not consider me your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Spoelstra's expression turned very strange, as if he were going through a fierce internal struggle.

He twisted his neck forcefully, turning his head to one side, while his whole body appeared unusually tense and contorted, as if he was trying to suppress some kind of emotional outburst.

His hands were clenched into fists and trembled slightly, revealing his extreme tension.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Qiao Xiao realized that she might have been too confident, which had made Shi Bozi so angry.

She thought to herself, "It seems that establishing a close relationship with him is really a difficult thing."

At this moment, a heavy silence filled the air, and no one was willing to break the tranquility first.

Just then, Daisy's voice broke the silence.

Daisy said softly, "Your Majesty, it is getting late, and there are many important matters in the palace that await your attention."

Qiao Xiao snapped out of her daze and replied, "Yes, Daisy, I'll be right there. Oh, by the way, the bowl was broken earlier, someone needs to come and clean it up."

Daisy asked with concern, "Are you alright, Queen?"

Qiao Xiao: "I'm perfectly fine, you should go and take care of it."

Daisy: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qiao Xiao turned to face Shi Bozi and instructed him, "Your wound is quite serious. I will arrange for the Royal Medical Team to treat you. Also, it's best if you don't go to the training ground for a while. I will inform your teacher."

Spoelstra did not react at all. He remained expressionless, staring coldly ahead without saying a word.

He simply sat quietly in the chair, motionless like a statue.
